Innocent Man Facing
Execution
Wrongfully
convicted and facing death at the hands of the state of California,
this plight did not come without a cause. My name is Christopher Poore.
Palm Springs,
November 1999 - a dangerous distributor of illicit drugs to minors is
killed. Although certainly not one of humanity's better examples, all
human life has value. While my concience is clear, this state still
seeks to end mine.
Drug addicts
themselves, the victims roomates perjured testimomy resulted in a first
degree murder conviction against me. Ironicallyenough, they were found
in possession of the victims personal property and vehicle after
fingering me as as suspect.
Although numerous
contradictions between actual testimony and physical evidence existed
(at the very least raising reasonable doubt) not only was I convicted
but subsequently sentenced to death.
During my trial,
state appointed defene attorneys were terribly ineffective. Like an
animal, I was strapped to chair and fastened to a 50,000 volt stunbelt.
Many requests for medical treatment were blatantly ignored, only to
later discern that in fact, I had a broken back, requiring invasive
surgery and titanium rod implants.
The court further
stripped me of any real ability to defend myself. Expert witnesses and
countless motions were denied , thus my defense fell short.
In an effort to
bolster the testimony of those upon whom the weight of the evidence
seemed to rest, jailhouse informants were utilized by the police and
made various deals to extricate themselves from the nature of their own
pending criminal matters in exchange for deceptive and inaccurate
narrative, ultimately used against me in the trial.
My case serves as
one of many examples of how the justice system is infected with
fallibility. Once more, it has proven itselfunreliable, devious, and
detrimental. This is the very same system, we as children were taught
to respect and believe in...
They have
thoroughly and deliberately extinguished their respective sworn duties
to protect society and moreover, continue to kill wrongfully convicted
citizens.
To date, I await
yet another state appointed attorney to address my capital murder
appeal. As you can certainly appreciate, placing my life (literally) in
the hands of this state, causes me great angst and concern.
As competent
attorneys, expert witnesses, and private investigators are costly, and
my finances are narrow and limited, the very purpose of this missive,
is to humbly examine the potential indeveloping a tireless support
mechanism and revenue stream to help me meet the fees associated with
quality legal representation.
Additionally , I
can always use and certainly welcome postage, stationary, and lots of
new friends to share with.
As my life is on
the line, time is of the essence. Any and all assistance will be
greatly appreciated in my pursuit of justice and freedom.
Correspondence and
contribitions should be mailed to me at the following address.
Thank you for your
time and consideration in this matter. I look forward to hearing from
you soon.
In solidarity,
